Can someone provide an interpretation for this dream?

The dream started with me "waking up" in the morning, but I was woken up to cawing. I sat up, and noticed that the window in the room that I was sleeping was left open and that six giant ravens had gotten in. They were all probably three to four feet tall and they were all making direct eye contact with me. I said "Uh, what the fuck?" and then one by one they hopped out the window.

Any idea what ravens typically symbolize, or what that could be implying in this short dream? I was also thinking that the number of them or the size could have importance as well.

Thanks!

p.s. Mods, I couldn't find the dream help tag, I'm sorry <3

dream about a raven with 3 eyes

I just had a dream about a raven with 3 eyes that sat and stared at me I couldn’t move or break eye contact with it I know I feared it. I can’t fully remember but I think it would make me see things that made me feel better but I was stuck and afraid for some reason, anyone got any idea what it could mean?

A thunder bird crashed in my mom’s garden

TL:DR at the bottom - long story

I live across the country from my parents since 2015, I followed my ex to the west coast and we broke up. I have some mental health issues (ADHD, depression, anxiety, ocd) but have NEVER been suicidal, way to scared to die. I’m a successful professional, but also a high functioning alcoholic (this is important later!).

2 weeks ago I had a dream I was swimming in my moms pool and they were prepping for a lunch BBQ. Suddenly a cloud rolls in ( I apparently decide to stay in the pool) and it’s a thunderstorm, a giant 6’ raven is shot out of the sky and crash lands into my moms garden, her backyard is like 1acre.

I check the raven’s vitals and he’s alive! I bring him into the pool to do physio, so I check his legs and wings and we swim around until I get called by my mom to come for lunch. So I carry this raven out of the pool and dry him off (he’s been letting me pet his belly and back for what felt like an eternity). After he’s dry I ask if he like to join us for lunch. He responds “yup! Why not?” And I’m like “wtf you can talk?!” And he says “of course I can talk dummy!”

We go into the kitchen and raven is the life of the party (idk how a 6’ tall raven sits in a chair but it happened). He was chatting it up with my dead grandmother (in Spanish, a language I am NOT fluent in but was raised around) my parents, grandparents etc. Basically family that live far from my home and my parents home are present.

Eventually he finishes eating (his feather tips turned into fingers to eat the ribs lol like think an anime type bird) and announces he has to go and thanks my parents for the hospitality.

As we exit the kitchen into the back yard I ask him if he wants to swim around again to make sure his legs and wings are ok and he agrees, at this point I try to take a selfie with him to show my BF because hey a multilingual thunder bird as a friend is super cool! Camera doesn’t work.

As I’m walking him down the driveway and begging him to stay (which I’ve been doing for hours and he keeps replying no), I ask him “when will I see you again?” And his response is “you won’t” I ask him why and he says:

Because you’ll be dead.

I signed up for help with my drinking that morning.

TL;DR - I saved a thunderbird in my dream who told me I would die if I kept up my habit so I signed up for alcohol abuse detox.

What got slipped to me 😕

The past 3 days I have had the same wild and vivid dream. I'm walking along a path in a deep green forest. I'm being led by a huge raven. As we go along the forest starts to turn to fall and snow over, causing me to lose my footing a bit. The raven leads me to a stone circle with a huge flat stone stage in the center. I kinda struggle to get up there cause of it being elevated and slippery due to the snow and ice, but eventually I make it up. I also cut my hand which begins to bleed a fair bit. It hurts at first, then it feels warm and weird. The blood also turns to plants... which also begin to sprout from my veins. I see a huge cat come up to sit and stare at me. I eventually kneel and that's when the raven comes and taps my on my forehead six times then a seventh towards the top of my head. And then I wake up. I swear I'm not on anything lol, but they are super vivid and always the same.

Dream of Odin, it a bad omen?

I'm furthest from a religious person, nor do I know much about Norse religion than what you learn from pop culture. Recently I had some bad news in my life (not related to covid). I can't help to think that it maybe related to a dream I had several weeks ago, it was so strange that I had to write it down the morning, so it's in better detail.

In my dream I was "searching for a book in a massive circular library with a tree in the middle, In one of the shelves, found a book binded with leather with a raven imprinted on it, I turn and look near the top of the circular library, I saw the Norse God Odin, grey bearded with a black coat, hear some violin type instrument, I think he had a squint in one of his eyes, I say his name Odin and I to fall on my knees pleading, don't remember why or what exactly"

I was wondering if someone who is more knowledgeable could help me interpret this dream, I can't help to feel it might have some significance for what's going on in my life. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
